"I believe this program will empower me to trust myself"

Before I came across and watched the free talk introducing me to this program and learned about the 4 levels of consciousness I felt perhaps there was a “dark cloud” over me. As I am someone who is very spiritual person, I’ve been using mediation apps and hypnosis as a means of better understanding and coping with all challenging experiences I’ve endured. I am a firm believer that mircalces exist and that when we truly open our hearts and ask for guidance we will receive it. I have had times when Id really lost hope and I was begging for the strength, courage and a sign that my life had meaning it was worth fighting for. During meditation I felt what I can only describe a strong presence of love around me and the distinct feeling that there was a hand on top of mine which was resting on my heart. Whether real or imagined I took this as a sign that my prayers were heard, I was not alone, Im loved and my life was worth fighting for. This was a breakthrough that I am truly grateful for. I’ve worked very hard to try and overcome my fears and trust that I can and will achieve the goals I set out for myself if I hold strong and keep believing in myself and the forces out there that cared enough to come to me in my time of need and save me from myself. However, I’ve encountered nothing but massive road blocks since I decided to take action. To be clear - We’re talking straight up bad luck here. I do my homework and luster up the courage to take that leap of faith toward a well intentioned, well thought out goal which could potentially change everything for the better and set in motion great things. So, the reason I’m sharing this with you all and the reason I signed up for the program was because in that free intro talk I discovered something vital that I am inclined to believe - one of the phases in the process of becoming extraordinary is chaos. In fact, it’s the second last phase before it all comes together and you see your dreams realized. A test of your will and a fundamental step in the process and your success moving forward. As they say, only the strong survive. I believe this program will empower me to trust myself and the process and arm me with the knowledge and strength i need to see dreams become a reality and reach my true potential. And it’s given me reason to believe that the chaos and the “dark cloud” are not something I need to fear, resent or be hindered by but rather a sign that I’m closer to reaching my goals than I thought. Either way, I’m not alone in the fight and that’s something to be most grateful for.
